So, lets cook!
I only made some frozen pizza tonight, so have a classic from "Ze Archives" for today: Käsespätzle (aka swabian egg noodles with roast onions and cheese)

Käsespätzle is originally a Swabian poor mans dish, but it tastes great and can easily be prepared in huge amounts, which makes it a nice party food. Originally it was eaten directly out of the bowl, accompanied by a green salad. The noodles should be original "Spätzle", which have a very rough surface and are high on egg content. The cheese used should be Emmentaler because of the mild, nut-like taste.
These are the main ingredients for the Käsespätzle:


Aside from the ingredients mentioned above (enough for four persons), you will need the following:

1. A big bowl, skillet or oven pan like this one:


2.: a sieve with a long handle for the spaetzle:


First, peel the onions and cut them in half:


Then, slice them like shown:


After that, cut the slices, resulting in nice big cubes:


That is the amount of onions for about four persons:


And your eyes will look like this afterwards :D :


Next, grate the cheese:


Amount of cheese needed:


Take a huge pot, fill it with cold water and put 2 tablespoons of salt in it, place on the stove and heat it (important for the later timing). Then put some oil in a real hot pan, add a little piece of butter for taste.

Not to forget the onions:


Now the twist of the roasted onions: add salt and about a handful of sugar:


This gives a great taste to the onions. the onions will start to lose some water, which is normal. When the onions will start to take color, the water should boil. Put the noodles in the water and cook them. Use a wooden spoon to stir the noodles, it will prevent cooking over:


Let the onions roast on high setting for about 15-20 minutes while constantly stirring:



The above is all that is left of the onions from the picture above. The result is pure, concentrated tase!


The tricky part: The Spätzle must be applied directly from the boiling water to the bowl, so prepare the working place accordingly:


Then fill the form with layer of noodles, layer of cheese until the form is filled:



Add the roast onions on top:


And have a feast!



Remember:
counting calories is for those who have to!:lol
